Abstract
The impact of cellular apoptosis in controlling M. tuberculosis during tuberculosis (TB) infection remains unresolved. In this issue of Immunity, Stutz et al. provide compelling evidence that apoptosis controls M. tuberculosis infection in vivo and compounds that induce apoptosis limit M. tuberculosis growth in mice.
